Achievement ideas

God damn it, the Team Fortress 2 achievement generator crashed, the bad thing is that all achievements anyone has created are gone, too. :frowning:

Unbreakable
Complete game with 100% health and 100% suit energy.

Appropriate times for achievements:

Completing each chapter
Finding any/all easter eggs (caches)
Finding a particular easter egg (microwave)
Defeating story-required bosses (gonarch, tentacles)
Completing minor but story-required tasks (starting the resonance cascade, launching the rocket, killing all assassins, getting through the tripmine maze)
Completing the game

Inappropriate times for achievements:

Kill x enemies
Complete game with a catch (using only one weapon, only running backwards, without jumping)
Kill x enemies with only x weapon

[COLOR=ā€˜DarkOrange’]About that beer… - Have a security guard kill 10 enemies without help.

So you want achievements for stuff that is required to beat the game?

He was basically just saying that he doesn’t want typical grinding achievements & achievements that would require multiple playthroughs. I personally don’t care for achievements for basic progress, but side things like the microwave & saving scientists are nice.

I will agree that I’m not fond of grind-type achievements. Anything that could take the form ā€œ[Verb] [nouns]ā€ is just some arbitrary number pulled out of the air, and I fucking-HATE magic numbers.

What separates doing it once and doing it times? It won’t be much different the next few iterations. I’d feel better if I didn’t have to look up what things to repeat, and instead got rewarded for doing weird things on accident (the first time).

Rather than ā€œkill 10 grunts with a crowbarā€ you can split it into:* Lambda Gear Solid: Crowbar a grunt to death without entering his line-of-sight

  • Offer You Can’t Refuse: Kill a grunt by crowbarring his legs.
  • How Are You, GI Joe?: Whack a grunt’s hand.

See how much better?

Green Apocalypse: Complete Anomalous Materials
Computer Wiz: Find the hidden Computer headcrab

Yo Big Momma So Dead: Kill Gonarch
Kentucky Fried Tentacle: Kill the Tentacles
I work for a James Bond Villian Company: Beat ā€œWe’ve Got Hostiles!ā€
Freeman, We have a problem!: Beat Lambada Core

Lambada

ā€œIf you’re bent on reaching the Lambada Complex, then you’ll want to keep to the older, industrial areas where the security system is full of holes. It’s worked for me, so far.ā€

Did somebody say lambada?

Same to you, jack.

Everyone looks to you for advice, xalener.

Why do he take off his shirt?
